Funded Activity Summary

Obesity cost Australia over $58 billion in 2008 alone. We are yet to identify any effective preventive strategies. Limited existing data suggests childhood factors (e.g., obesity) may have a long-term impact on health outcomes. The proposed study will examine the link between childhood factors and cardiovascular disease risk in adulthood in 4 studies that have collected biological and lifestyle factors from childhood to adulthood. This will lead to better understanding of such complex diseases.
